997.2 Owners... what are we going to do about a front lip?
The title says it all. As 997.2 owners we have a very limited selection of front lips. Most that are available are quite expensive, with most being $1,000+.
Here are a few of the front lips that are currently available:
If you know of any other front lips that are reasonably priced, please post a link here.
Of the lips shown here, I am leaning toward the FVD. IMO, it fits the 997.2 best by complimenting the front and does not look like an after market, over sized bolt on front lip. If others have an interest in the FVD lip, maybe we could contact Rhonda at FVD to see if we could get a group buy going.
Post here if you would be interested in the FVD lip.
Thanks,
Tim
Here are a few of the front lips that are currently available:
Porsche Aero Kit Front Bumper $2,900 (1st pic)
TechArt $1,300 (2nd pic)
Werks1 $1,800 (3rd pic)
FVD $990 (4th and 5th pics)
GT3 Tek has been promising a front lip for the 997.2 for a long time with no results. I was was on the "other" Porsche Forum (6speed) and found an old thread from 2010 and one poster said that someone from GT3 Tek said they would have a 997.2 front lip "in a few months." Well, four years later, still no lip from them. So I have given up on GT3 Tek, as they seem to be catering to the 997.1 cars.TechArt $1,300 (2nd pic)
Werks1 $1,800 (3rd pic)
FVD $990 (4th and 5th pics)

Check out my avatar. I certainly wouldn't clear the concrete stop at my office as much as I like the last two front lips. It's just makes the car too low, even for navigating certain "regular" driveways and parking lot entrances here in south Florida.
